% you can add this to cont-new.mkxl

\immutable\Umathchardef\minute\zerocount\zerocount\privatecharactercode{prime 
0x2032 1}
\immutable\Umathchardef\second\zerocount\zerocount\privatecharactercode{prime 
0x2033 1}

\starttext

Even now, a six footer is two standard deviations from the mean. Remember,
5\minute7\second\ is 50\high{th} percentile today for a 15 year old.

I need to discuss this with Mikael as it assumes that all math fonts are 
set up that way). In lmtx (luametatex) primes are native features and 
assume dimensions that we can work with (primes and minutes are a 
typical example of messed up math unicode).
